FR2999883A1 - Device for making luminous slippers that are utilized by e.g. elder people during walking in home at night, has timer coupled to automatic movement detector that triggers light beam when user walks and puts pressure on sole - Google Patents

Abstract

The device has a sole (1) whose front part comprises a resin block (2) that comprises an LED (3), where a battery (5) and an integrated circuit (6) are provided in the device. A timer (8) is coupled to an automatic movement detector (7) that triggers a light beam when a user walks and puts pressure on the sole. The resin block corresponds to a convex shape of a front part of a slipper (4), where a thickness of the resin block is 0.51 cm, and a width of the resin block is 2 cm. The timer stops lighting after a given time if the user stops walking.

Description

The present invention relates to a device for making slippers bright on several meters ahead, to reduce the many domestic accidents taking place in the house at night The traditional slippers do not include any such system, which implies for a large part of the population, especially seniors and children an unacceptable number of falls every year on the stairs or elsewhere in the house. With traditional slippers if you wake up during the night you must turn on the direct or indirect lights of the house and therefore annoy his spouse, his parents. Starting from this postulate, many people do not dare to light the said lights and clash more or less violently with the various obstacles that punctuate their interiors.

The device according to the invention overcomes these disadvantages. It comprises indeed according to a first characteristic. An insole with axial hole integrating an automatic motion detector, an integrated circuit, a row of LEDs, a battery and a timer. Thus when the user exerts pressure in a natural way when walking, the sole of the shoe diffuses light over several meters. The attached drawing illustrates the invention: FIG. 1 is a top view of the device of the invention With reference to this drawing, the device comprises a soleplate (1) whose front part consists of a resin block (2) incorporating Led (3) a battery (5) and an integrated circuit (6) Our resin (2) has been designed and molded to fit the convex shape of the front part of the liner (4), the position of the motion detector (7) coupled to the timer (8) determines the scattering of the light -2- for a specified period of time. For example our resin block will have dimensions of the order of 0.51 cm thick, 2 cm wide and 3 cm high. According to a variant not shown our system may consist of a number different from Led allowing a wide range of lighting more or less strong. The device according to the invention is particularly intended for the comfort and safety of the elderly and children who get up at night to move safely.

Claims (4)

CLAIMS1) Device for making slippers bright. Characterized in that it comprises a sole (1) whose front portion consists of a resin block (2) incorporating a row of LEDs (3) a battery (5) an integrated circuit (6) a timer (8) an automatic motion detector (7) that triggers a light beam when the user walks and exerts pressure on the soleplate. 2) Device according to claim 1 characterized in that the front part of the sole of the resin block (2) is located in the front and axial portion of the liner. 3) Device according to claim 1 or claim 2 characterized in that our resin block (2) matches the convex shape of the front portion of the liner (4) 4) Device according to claim 1 characterized in that the timer (8) stops the lighting after a fixed time if the user stops walking.
